Internships Opportunities:

There is a placement cell but I personally do not have experience with it. But there are a lot of companies that come in. Notable examples include Airbus. Students are allowed to take three months internships with no question and longer ones with permission. Not sure what the stipend is since most maths people don't opt for this. Sadly I haven't taken any internships so I cannot comment on it.

Internships Opportunities:

The internship opportunities are open second year onwards and are very easy to obtain. Two types of internships are available: industrial and academic. Academic internships involve working under a professor with his team on their project over the course of a summer break. For this the student can approach any professors on campus, or even at other universities in India or abroad. However, these internships generally do not involve any stipends. Industrial internships are provided by the campus placement cell and generally involve a stipend depending on the job you get. Several companies come on campus to take interns for industrial research training.
